This podcast wouldn’t exist without Curt Malawsky.

One of my pre game rituals and routines for the NLL on TSN is to chat with each head coach before the game of the week to prep story lines and get insight on players, and the chats with Curt Malawsky are always a high light of game week and are the chats that inspired this podcast into existence.

As you’ll hear, he talks a mile a minute, goes off on tangents, and is super well prepped. I often have to listen to his interviews multiple times to transcribe and take notes because he gives so much information, it’s like taking a university course in lacrosse.

“Good people make good teams.”

“Well done is better than well said.”

“Honest effort, honest result.”

Just a few Curt-isms that we’ll trace back on this episode.

With Curt, it’s family first. Behind the passion and the lacrosse IQ is a good family man. You’ll hear how important that is to his success.

Curt Malawasky is the Head Coach and General Manager of the Vancouver Warriors of the NLL. He signed a long term deal with the team in the summer of 2023 after winning the Head Coach of the Year award in Calgary and guiding the team to the West Final in 2023.
